Not to be overly proud of myself, but I said this like 30 pages ago. 

But replace Louisville with BYU.

College Football needs K-State, and I hope it realizes that.

I still hope ISU turns out okay.  Do not care as much about Baylor, but I really hope the old big 8 schools end up okay.

[sonofdaxjones]

So when is someone besides me and Wabash going to recognize that Boren needs to be punched right in the mouth?

all the kstate rules would lack context

he falls under my "eff you bad guys" post.

The Wall Street Journal validated us.  What a wonderful condolence prize.

The last part makes me tremendously sad and basically encapsulates entirely what Totuga was saying earlier.

Nobody wins here.

This is about killing your neighbor over panic and fear.

[10.) Oh, one more and then I really am done for the night. Let's just make this an even ten. It may surprise many of you to learn that most of the people with whom I have spoken about this issue (both insiders and outsiders alike) are anything but celebratory. This is very different than VT's reaction in 2003 or BC's reaction a year later. Everyone with whom I have spoken is a little bit sad that it has reached this point and everyone is lamenting losing the Big East Tournament in MSG. However they are also mostly resolved that this is probably in our best long term interests because of the stability the new league will provide us. Also, most believe that WVU is a at least a decent bet to get an SEC invite./quote]

I want to egg his house and throw a shoe at him...maybe butcher a cow in his driveway.

I'm told that the reports out of Kansas City have been the most accurate and that the report last week or the week before that said that the B12's targets were Notre Dame, Arkansas, Brigham Young and Pitt were "100 percent true" according to one of my peeps. However ND and ARKY were completely uninterested and BYU was on the fence and leaning towards staying indie.

Pitt was initially not interested in changing conferences either but when the other schools mentioned were replaced with Louisville and West Virginia, that all changed. Also, Pitt believed that if another B12 team left for the ACC, they would be replaced with TCU. That is a pretty good group to defect with.

What the ACC began to suspect was that Texas was using them to bluff others into staying in the B12 and that the meetings on Monday were going to be to announce that they presidents had the sole authority to find the right league for their schools and that they were first going to try to make the B12 work - with the BE programs in tow.

I mean, jfc.  Boren made his dumbass comments, what?  2-3 weeks ago?  Dear christ, take WVU, UL, and Pitt and run 2 weeks ago.  what a complete and total dipsh*t.

[SkinnyBenny]

Yeah.  He's a rough ridin' bad person idiot.  Don't worry, we all want to punch him.

[sonofdaxjones]

No school currently in a major conference, and a select group of other schools not in a major conference need to be left out.  It's complete Bull$hit, and only the biggest of the biggest eff$tick wouldn't recognize or say that.  

I dislike ku a lot less than what some people think and I wouldn't want them to get left out, they've been a part of a major conference for decades and decades, just like K-State has . . . it's a part of what makes college athletics interesting.   These people are going to eff this up completely out of sheer greed and in 2 or 3 years college athletics won't look like anything we even recognize.

[Panjandrum]

word out of OU is that they have two options:  PacWhatever & Big12 with equal revenue sharing.  Texas is either going to have to ditch their television station or go indy.  no conference will have them with it. 

Oklahoma is such a bitch.  Jesus Christ what huge vaginas to want this rough ridin' Utopian big 12 now.  Now I wish that kid had gotten into the stadium before he blew himself up.

can't you have a LHN and equal revenue sharing?

Apparently not.  I do not think ou is serious about the big 12.  Make some bullsh#t request of UT knowing full well UT won't accept so you can make yourself feel better when you leave.  Bob getting an extension has to mean something, poster on the other site said bob told ou if they stay in the big 12 he will leave (ohio state will need a coach soon).

I'm so sick of these schools worrying about not being the "bad guy". eff all of you. You're all bad guys.

YES. Nebraska, Texas A&M, OU, and Texas can all go eff themselves, regardless of how this works out. I'm not really all that upset with Colorado for some reason.

so can these conferences and commissioners. Larry Scott, you're a dick.

A dick? People like panjaraumum will be declaring him a "genius" when he lands OU and UT. 

I don't like that he's doing it, but I understand why he's doing it.

He's thinking about it like a businessman and not a fan.  That's his job.

I will give him credit for his ambition.  I sincerely don't want him to pull it off.

There is nothing wrong with college football that cannot be cured by what's right with college football.

This is about fear.  And the greed and self serving power hunger of a few is going to change then face of college athletics forever.

Very sad. No matter the end result, college football(the new official minor league football) will most likely suck ass in the end.

I feel this way too. I'm just glad that we may not be one of the most vulnerable if/when it happens. I really don't understand why KU fans want to see K-State athletics die. I have friends and family that love KU and I would hate to see them lose out like that.

[Panjandrum]

fff's hate of Pan is odd.

not really.

well i'm not as "connected" as some here krusty

He doesn't like how panj gets off on realignment. The whole thing disgusts him, and it makes panj's mouth water.

I hate that it's happening, but I find it immensely fascinating.  It's like Risk, but with college football.  And I love(d) both of these things.

I don't hate him, so it's not a big deal.

[Panjandrum]

pan's word/insight ratio could be better

I am wordy.  I'll give you that.

[wabash909]

Boren needs to be punched in the face.

He also needs to be choked within an inch of his life.

It's the 13-1, it's killing them.  It doesn't validate that they think about EMAW as little bro.  I don't want my little bro to die, that's why i want KU to come with.
